ABSTRACT:
A fire fighting apparatus for installation in an automobile, essentially comprising an outer container containing a fire extinguishing composition, an inner container encased in the outer container and supported in a fixed position relative to the outer container, the inner container containing a high pressure gas, and a plunger slidably supported by the outer container in a destructively engageable relationship with the inner container. The outer container includes an outlet defining a nozzle which is normally closed by a plug made of a collapsible material. The inner container is at least partially made of a fragile material, and the plunger is destructively engageable with the fragile material. An impact generated by collision of the automobile brings the plunger into destructive engagement with the inner container, so that the high pressure gas flows out into the outer container and raises the pressure of the composition therein. The composition collapses the plug and spouts out through the nozzle.
